Description:
Established in 2001, this UK SME is a designer and manufacturer of healthcare and assisted daily living products. With backgrounds in health and the medical sectors, the company founders have created a wide range of disability living aids, from bathroom to kitchen, equipment to help around the home and dressing aids. The company strives to improve existing products as well as developing new innovating products, all with the aim of improving their customer's quality of life and independence.
One of the first products the company developed was a caddy, an accessory that can be attached to most types of wheeled zimmer frames. The caddy is a basket with a lid and so allows a person to carry around small items, meals and drinks whilst using a wheeled walking frame. This product has continued to be developed since first designed and there is now a version that can be attached to folding walking frames.
The company's latest mobility product is an innovative new shaped transfer board which has been developed in conjunction with the university sector, patients and clinicians to produce high quality academic and patient outcomes across the fields of orthopaedic surgery and related diseases, treatments, technologies and devices.
Transfer boards enable people with restricted mobility to slide safely from one position to another. This transfer board provides a stable, multi positional transfer for the user and carer. The board has an attachable sliding seat, which reduces the effort required by a carer or the user by over a third.
Other products developed by the company include:
- a bathroom hygiene aid to assist with toileting
- a portable and foldable toilet frame
- a dressing aid for women and a range of kitchen aids to help with food preparation and eating.
The company holds a number of patents in the UK and in the US alongside a European Design Registrations.
The company seeks long term partnerships based on distribution services agreement.
